Monitoring was held on the contact line between Armenian and
Azerbaijani armed forces for the first time in 2009 after a mandate
by the special envoy of the OSCE chairman.

The monitoring in Azerbaijan’s Terter and Agstafa regions proceeded
without incident on Jan. 14, Trend News regional correspondent
reported.

The monitoring was held on the Azerbaijani side by the OSCE Chairman’s
Personal Representative Imre Palatinus and Vladimir Chountulov.

The monitoring was held on the Armenian side by the OSCE Chairman’s
field assistants Pieter Ki, Antal Herdich and Irji Aberli.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan
lost all of Nagorno-Karabakh except for Shusha and Khojali in December
1991. In 1992-93, Armenian armed forces occupied Shusha, Khojali and 7
districts surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed
a ceasefire in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group – Russia,
France, and the U.S. – are currently holding the peace negotiations.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
